Voices of Praise ‎#306

306. Looking upward every day

1 Looking upward every day,
Sunshine on our faces;
Pressing onward every day
Towards the heavenly places.

2 Growing every day in awe,
For Thy Name is holy;
Learning every day to love
With a love more lowly.

3 Walking every day more close
To our Elder Brother;
Growing every day more true
Unto one another.

4 Leaving every day behind
Something which might hinder;
Running swifter every day,
Growing purer, kinder.

5 Lord, so pray we every day
Hear us in Thy pity,
That we enter in at last,
To the Holy City.

Amen.
